Track Ignition On/Off

Ignition data is used to calculate excessive idle, runtime, stop begin and end times - all viewable on our extensive reports. Ignition changes can also trigger email alerts.

Monitor Speed

Vehicle speed is displayed on route map pop-ups and on general and speed specific reports. Speeds above pre-set threshold can also trigger email alerts.

Street Addresses

To identify the location of a stopped vehicle, we display the nearest street address on maps and reports. You can also 'landmark' a location on the map with an electronic push-pin.

Virtual Fences

Virtual fences, or geofences, lets you define an area that a car shouldn't leave or enter. When we detect the trigger, we can send an email. Useful in verifying payroll times and moonlighting.

Visualize on a Map

A powerful feature of all gps car tracking systems is the display of the car and its driving history on a map. Our state-of-the-art maps make it easy to zoom in and identify location visually.

GPS Accuracy

GPS car tracking devices are accurate to +/- 20 feet. Some devices, if physically idle in one place for an extended time, may show some drift, but this is normal.

Installation

GPS Car Tracking devices are available in two versions: installed and plug & play. Installed devices are hidden under the dash and permanently wired. Many customers self install with our easy to follow instructions, but we can also recommend certified installers in your area. Plug & play trackers are simply plugged into the vehicle's OBD-II socket.

Choosing a GPS Car or Truck Tracking Device

Plug & Play GPS Tracker

OBD-II gps car trackers are great for employee owned vehicles. Also, they are good where multiple drivers use the same vehicle. Of course, they are good in situations where installation is hard. These car trackers plug into the OBD-II port, which is found under or near the steering wheel.

An added advantage of this car tracker is that it sends some key engine data to our servers. This data may include: fuel load, VIN, and error codes. (By the way: OBD-II is short for on-board diagnostic port. The OBD-II port is used by mechanics to detect car and truck engine problems.)

Installed GPS Tracking Devices

Installed trackers are less likely to be tampered with, simply because they are usually hidden out of view under the dashboard. Therefore, this keeps them out of the reach of drivers or thieves. Installation is a three wire hookup, similar to a car stereo. We include installation documentation with every order.

Installed gps tracking devices offer features such as battery backup and PTO/Auxiliary inputs. In other words, PTO/Auxiliary inputs enables the tracking of on/off status of custom equipment: lights, pumps, motors.

Car and Truck Tracking Device Features

Battery Backup

Both Plug and Play Trackers and Installed Trackers get their power from the vehicle. If the car battery dies, trackers with backup batteries will continue to collect data and send it to our servers. Additionally, low battery alert messages can be generated by some of the devices. Enable the battery guard feature and receive alerts from our system.

Store & Forward

Most of the tracking devices we carry have store and forward capabilities. Store & Forward kicks in automatically when the tracking device is in an area where it cannot connect to cell service. The device saves its location information until it reconnects. After that, it downloads the data to our server.
